It's a home that was shared by Skinner and Rainbolt.

"Pretty peaceful, I grew up around here about 4 or 5 miles away from here, it's peaceful around here most of the time," said neighbor Brian Jenkins.

State police said they went to the home Thursday around 6:30 p.m.

"They went out there for what we call a welfare check, the reason why they went out there is because the occupant of the residence hadn't been heard from or seen in a couple of days and the family was concerned there may be something wrong," said ISP Sgt. Jerry Goodin.

Troopers and deputies searched the entire property, including other buildings, in addition to the house. "They located the deceased body of the victim inside of an out building, looked like some kind of attempt to cover the body up," said Goodin.

Not long after discovering Skinner's body, authorities talked to Rainbolt and arrested him for murder. Police said Skinner was shot in the head.

"I heard it from my girlfriend first, she told me about it, I guess her daughter got a hold of her, she was friends with him," said Jenkins.

Some of Skinner's friends said his personality would light up a room. They said he was well known and well liked in this small, rural community. Authorities have not said what led up to his murder.

"Crazy how it happened, but that's a little bit everywhere I guess," said Jenkins.

Rainbolt faces several charges including murder and improper disposal of a corpse.
